King Thrushbeard

The story tells how King Thrushbeard, in love with an arrogant princess, succeeds in leading her—disguised as a beggar—along the harsh road of destitution and extreme poverty.

By proving to her that she is incapable of doing anything and is herself worthy of ridicule, he breaks her pride and makes her turn her gaze inward.

Having recognized her faults, the princess will strive to overcome them, truly earn his love, and become his wife.

This fairy tale is yet another example of the genius of folk storytellers, who have always discovered and brought to life, through fairy-tale plots, the timeless problems of humanity.
